Summary
Greg Lestrade has been carrying a torch for Mycroft Holmes for years. Between cases and the petty dramas of life, he can mostly keep it at bay, flickering on a low burn in the back of his mind.
However, after he's pulled into a search and rescue operation for the man, he finds himself thrust into an unexpected role. He's trying to be respectful - and careful - but Mycroft Holmes is a force to be reckoned with, and the torch is burning brighter than ever.

Summary
It’s a lot like leafing through pages in a large picture book, or watching life being lived on the other side of a window. The glass is clear, but still a barrier. Objects are out of reach, though the acts that unfold can tug at your heart or spark a forest fire of rage. Or encourage a person to engender a certain numbness of feeling.
Mycroft Holmes lives a quiet, steady life. He works. He paints. He takes walks. It’s what he does to ignore the flurry of partnering around him. Whether it’s the biological drive to mash two bodies together, or the religious dictum of the salvation in finding one’s Devotee, it’s not for him. It won't ever be for him.
Until the day he meets a blind man in the park.
The world will never be the same.

Summary
They grew up in a rough neighborhood, where an intelligent, gentle boy like Mycroft Holmes would have been savaged if it wasn’t for the fact that his best friend was Greg Lestrade, one of the toughest kids around and one who was devoted to keeping Mycroft safe from anyone who might want to hurt him. That devotion deepened into something very different as the boys aged and, though his heart swelled with pride when Mycroft won a scholarship to a prestigious college, that same heart shattered when Mycroft went away, determined to study theology and forge a life in the church.
Without Mycroft's steady support and clear sense of right and wrong, however, Greg takes a different path and forges a life in the criminal underworld. After a 'business' deal goes bad, Greg races to the one person he knows he can trust, but have Greg’s choices forever closed the door on their relationship, be it one of friendship or something much, much more? When an unfamiliar car pulls up to the front of Mycroft’s church, that question has a chance to be answered…

Summary
When Baron Mycroft Holmes violated the Law of Hospitality and angered a goddess, he was cursed to live his days as a beast. No longer fit for polite society, the baron spends his time lamenting his foolishness. At night, when his self-pitying routine becomes too much for even him to withstand, he sneaks down to the gambling hall for a bit of distraction.
It's a crime to traffick people, but when he wins a boy, he finds these idle days are over. Gregory Lestrade is more than he seems, and it could be that he's hiding a curse of his own.

Summary
The last time Sherlock saw his brother was at Christmas. Though he didn't bother speaking to him, Sherlock has always been able to communicate with his brother with mere glances. His were a bit not good.
It takes him a shameful eleven weeks to realize that since then he's heard nary a word.
When he and John discuss it, in what has become their new stilted normal, they realize that Lestrade is also gone.What they find is far worse than Sherlock could have ever imagined.
In order to heal, our heroes are going to have to learn how to forgive, how to communicate and perhaps most importantly, how to love.
